CATERPILLAR NAMED A TOP 50 COMPANY IN ROBOTICS Robotics Business Review (RBR) unveiled its fourth annual RBR50 list, naming Caterpillar one of the most noteworthy companies in the global robotics industry for 2015. The RBR is the largest, most comprehensive online robotics news and information resource. Companies listed on the RBR50 are selected based on their innovations, groundbreaking applications, commercial success and potential, and represent many different levels and facets of the robotics ecosystem. This international compilation spans 11 countries and in addition to the large conglomerates, 20 percent of the list is comprised of lesser-known startups. The RBR50 list is dynamic, with robotics companies entering and leaving on an annual basis, thus creating a list that is indicative of where the global robotics industry as a whole is headed. Other companies on the list include Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Komatsu and Google. “Caterpillar has long recognized the value robotic technologies can bring to our customers when integrated into our products and solutions,” said Lou Balmer Millar, director of Research and Advanced Engineering. “Being named one of the top 50 companies in the global robotics industry is great recognition of our successful history of innovation, as well as the commercial success of our semi-autonomous and fully autonomous products and features.” For the full list of companies on the RBR50 List, http://roboticsbusinessreview.com/rbr50. 2 SPRING 2015 CATERPILLAR PRIDE: Panama Employees Showcase Company Pride in Local Communities From Strains and Sprains to Improved Ergonomics When thinking about work-related injuries, sprains and strains may not come to mind.

  • 1944 All-American Girls Baseball League
    HISTORY MAKER BASEBALL 1944 All-American Girls Professional Baseball League One of the top movies of 1992 was the film “A League of Their Own,” starring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Rosie O’Donnell and Madonna, a story about a women’s professional baseball league formed during World War II. The movie was a critical and commercial success, earning glowing reviews, topping the box office by its second week of release, and earning over $150 million in ticket sales. The catch phrase, “There’s no crying in baseball!”—uttered by Rockford Peaches manager Jimmy Dugan (played by Hanks) made the American Film Instutute’s list of Greatest Movie Lines of All-Time, and the film itself was selected by the Library of Congress in 2012 for preservation in the National Film Registry, as being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” Interestingly, when the film opened in ’92, relatively few of the people who saw it knew that it was based on an actual, real-life league—many thought it was complete fiction. But the fictionalized account portrayed in the movie was, in fact, based on a very real story. The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was formed in 1943 out of concern that with so many players serving in World War II, big league baseball might be forced to suspend operations. The idea was that perhaps women could keep the game active and on the minds of baseball fans until the men could return from the war. The new league was bankrolled by big league owners, conducted nation-wide tryouts to stock its four inaugural teams with talented women players, and began competitive play in the spring of ’43—just as the movie’s screenplay detailed.
